À propos de ce film

Roseanne McNulty (Vanessa Redgrave/Rooney Mara), a once vibrant and lively beauty in her youth, has spent the majority of her adult life confined to a mental hospital in rural Ireland. She has been institutionalized for so long, no one seems to remember why she was hospitalized in the first place.
When a new chief psychiatrist, Dr. Grene (Eric Bana), arrives, he takes a keen interest in Roseanne. He finds a hidden memoir, written over the course of decades by Roseanne, which unravels the mystery of her incarceration, as well as telling the tale of her passionate, yet tortured, life.

Notes et avis

What man does to man and to woman! I did not read the book but the story touched me with the realistic elements of man's behavior and the outcome was a bittersweet crescendo of lives affected. It's a tear jerker for sure...

It's sad when others choose to hurt someone innocent. Beautiful movie!

This is a very touching movie. My husband and I were in tears. SOOOOOOO sweet!
